Early Iron Age bronze socketed axe
Small mouth face fragment, which is beginning to curve at both the face edges. Pronounced bi-conical collar with a feint lower mouth moulding. No ribs, pellets or roundels visible and no facets present. The slightly curved mouth shape suggests it is of Sompting rather than Armorican Type.
